Summary

Uma thina sobabili singahlala lapha,

Sicambalale osebeni lolwandle nogu,

Ehlabathin’ elimhloph’ eligcwel’ ufasimbe,

Lapho kugcwel’ ukuthula kom-

hlaba nezulu —

Yiyo le ndaw’ eyenza mina ngiqumbelane

Usikisiki lomphefumulo nonembeza.

Le ndaw’ egcwel’ inhlokomo,

kuyo kubuthene

Konk’ okuhle nokuphas’ umphef-

umulo wami.

Kuyona ngizw’ amazwan’

abantu bekhuluma,

Abant’ abahamba ngezinyawo nangomoya,

Abanye bentanta nangaphezulu kwamanzi.

Bayasikhohlisa bathi ngamahlengethwa,

Abanye balokhu benyakazisana nemithi,

Benyakazisana nezindwan’ eziluhlaza.

Kuthi nxa siyobuza kuthiwe yiwona moya.

Ngiyabezwa bekhuluma, woza ungizwise.

Ngiyabathanda, bayangit-

handa, woz’ uzizwele.
